Otters are aquatic mammals that are found in rivers, lakes, and coastal areas around the world. They are known for their playful behavior and are often seen sliding on their bellies down muddy banks or playing with rocks and shells.

Otters have thick fur that keeps them warm in cold water. They have the densest fur of any mammal, with up to one million hairs per square inch.

Otters are skilled hunters and feed on fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. They use their sensitive whiskers to locate their prey and can hold their breath for up to 8 minutes while diving underwater.

Otters are social animals and live in family groups called rafts. They communicate with each other using a variety of vocalizations, including chirps, whistles, and growls.

Otters are a keystone species, meaning that they play a critical role in maintaining the health of their ecosystem. They help to control the population of their prey species and also help to maintain the health of plant populations by feeding on animals that eat plants.
